Anything by Cormac McCarthy. The summaries of his books always sound interesting, but I can never get through his prose... I know he gets praised left and right for his style, but to me it's impossible to read.

I kind of second that.. i mean ive only read no country for old men and the no quotations definitely annoyed me. I feel like i would have enjoyed if he spent more time writing the dialogue with quotations, and who said what.

Thank goodness someone else said McCarthy.

No Country was just a slog that I had to force myself to finish because I thought it might add to the movie.

It didn't.
